20 right?

OpenStudy (rajat97):

Look if the figures are similar, then the sides of the figures are in the same ratio which is given and is equal to 1/5. Now its very clear that the side of the smaller figure will be in the numerator and that of the larger figure will be in the denominator so 10/y = 1/5 so y=50 units
